The first side region is provided on one side of the first seat region along a direction that intersects a traveling direction of an aircraft, and the second side region is provided on another side of the second seat region along the direction that intersects the traveling direction of the aircraft. The first side region and the second seat region are joined in a state in which a portion of the second seat region is inserted into the first side region. The first side region and the second side region are separated by a partition wall, and the partition wall has an inclined surface tilted toward the second seat unit.

An information display device attachable to a structure includes a plate-shaped body, a display panel, and a surface member. The plate-shaped body is a part of the structure and has a first attaching surface, a second attaching surface opposite to the first attaching surface, and a side portion that connects the first attaching surface and the second attaching surface to each other. The display panel is attached to the plate-shaped body and is configured to display information on a display surface. The display surface is disposed from the first attaching surface to the second attaching surface. The surface member is disposed on a display surface side of the display panel to cover the display panel such that only the information displayed on the display surface of the display panel is visible through the surface member when the display panel is turned on.

A seat assembly for a vehicle includes a backrest. A tray table is moveably coupled to the backrest. The tray table is configured to be moved between a stowed position and a deployed position. A literature pocket is formed in the backrest. The literature pocket is disposed between the tray table in the stowed position and a rear surface of the backrest. In an embodiment, a device support is moveably coupled to the literature pocket. The device support is moveable between a support stowed position and a support deployed position that is configured to support a device.

A system for data collection in a commercial travel setting is described. The system includes a plurality of sensor circuits that collect a plurality of sensor data values from in-flight entertainment (IFE) network. The system includes a sensor data processor that interprets the plurality of sensor data values. The system includes a passenger profile management controller configured that filters the plurality of sensor data values by processing a plurality of passenger profiles that are related to at least some of the plurality of sensor data values. The system generates a measurement index that is normalized with respect to the plurality of sensor data values or the plurality of passenger profiles.

A passenger seat voice communication system (100) for a passenger seat of a passenger vehicle includes a first communication device (102A) that supports voice communication. The first communication (102A) device includes a receiver (108) and a video monitor (110). The system includes a second communication device (102B) configured to support voice communication at a second passenger seat. The system also includes a controller (104) that receives from the first communication device (102A) a selection and request to establish voice communication with the second passenger seat, and sends the request to the second communication device (102B). If the request is accepted by the second communication device (102B), the controller (104) establishes voice communication between the first communication device (102A) and the second communication device (102B).

A touchless system for an aircraft cabin is disclosed. The system includes machine-readable codes placed on passenger seats and other aircraft surfaces that may be scanned and linked to cabin control systems through an application installed on personal portable electronic devices. The system also includes a communication system linked to the personal portable electronic devices via the application and linked to the cabin control systems that facilitates the control of one or more control systems by the personal portable electronic device. One of the cabin control systems is configured as an overhead storage container configured with a gesture sensing system, allowing the storage lid to be opened through specific gestures.

A seating assembly for a passenger aircraft. The seat system may include at least one passenger seat and a seat back tray assembly mounted onto the back of the passenger seat and movable between a first storage position and a second deployed position. The tray assembly may include (i) a tray having a first and second attachment arm mounted onto the tray for installing the tray onto the back of a seat system; (ii) a sliding mechanism installed on the first and second attachment arms adapted for providing movement between a first forward position and a second aft position to a seated passenger parallel to the first and second attachment arms; and (iii) an alignment mechanism attached to the sliding mechanism for maintaining the tray in a horizontally aligned relationship during the movement. The seat system may further include a PED holder adapted to hold a personal electronic device.

A passenger seat and a row of passenger seats of a type wherein each seat includes a seatback for locating amenities for use by an aft-seated passenger. The seatback includes a video monitor positioned in an upper portion of the seatback, a first seatback pocket positioned below the video monitor, and a second seatback pocket positioned below the first seatback pocket. Each of the first and second seatback pockets includes a member configured to move apart from the seatback to facilitate access to a bottom of the respective seatback pocket. In embodiments, the first and second seatback pockets are positioned in respective first and second recesses formed in the seatback.

An aircraft passenger entertainment device for an aircraft passenger seat is disclosed having a cover member attached to the seat so as to serve as a functional accessory for providing additional functions other than a seating function to the seat; a display screen movably attached to at least one surface of the cover member; and a controller embedded on a surface or inside of the cover member and in communication with the display screen. The cover member is attachable and detachable to a rear facing surface of a backrest of the seat above a passenger knee level.

A passenger includes at least one seat component including a first material and at least one additive manufactured component including a second material, the at least one additive manufactured component including a plurality of zones. The at least one additive manufactured component is attached to the at least one seat component. The at least one additive manufactured component includes a lattice structure. Each of the plurality of zones have different physical properties.
